Coco: The Junior Novelization (Disney/Pixar Coco)

Happy for every purchase I made. The bigger, the better. I'll be returning to the site to make sure I bought them all. Very satisfied.

Great adaptation from a great writer!

Christmas gift to grandson

My son loved it....

Loved it~!!!

Have some concerns about the amount of Spanish/Mexican phrases used in the book which I take it as a story suitable for kids 8 -10 to read. Words like Afrenda and individual names are OK, some of the words are difficult to pronounce even in reading to youngsters, let alone having them read it.

My granddaughter will receive for Christmas-loves the movie

The kids loved it!

very good book I hope people will like it

到着した時点で、右上の部分が、表紙も背表紙も、中身も全ページが折れ曲がったあとの、しわができていました。新品を買ったのに、楽しみにしてたのに、読む前に気分が落ち込みました。とても小さなことですが、残念です。表紙は、しっかり折れまがった跡があるので、配送以前の問題です。

I recently watched Coco for the first time and although I wasn’t expecting to like the film, I enjoyed it. It’s not one of my favourite films and I found it a little dark in places. I wasn’t sure what the novelization would be like, as like a lot of Disney/Pixar novelizations, there are whole scenes missing where the characters have burst into song. I was pleasantly surprised by the novelization, as it wasn’t obvious that there were scenes missing/severely trimmed down, and the author (Angela Cervantes) has done a great job of making the book flow seamlessly. It’s a nice quick read, although I’m a bit unsure of the 7-10 age range that Amazon lists, considering the dark undertone that is running through this film. Although children are a lot more resilient to death and stuff, I would maybe try reading or watching it with your child first. I am still thinking about the film and its messages days later. (Although, saying that, I had probably read all of the Narnia books by the age of 10 and particularly the last book, The Last Battle, deals a lot with death and the afterlife.) I read the majority of this while in a dentist waiting room. It’s slightly longer than some of other junior Disney novelizations as it’s 137 pages, with the standard 8 pages of colour photographs. I did find perhaps the last third of the book quite rushed, and it came across a lot more slower paced (in a good way) in the film. It seemed almost like the author had been told that she had to finish the book by a certain page number/amount of words. I would definitely recommend this for your novelization collection or for reading with your kids after watching the film. Just prepare for some awkward questions to be asked.
